Additionally, an “Honored Pointer” is named, with this year’s award presented to Margaret Avery, Class of 1961, who is a film and television actress in town for her class’ 60th reunion. Avery is best known for her performance as “Shug” in the film “The Color Purple,” which garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n
Homecoming also marks the annual appearance of the official Pointer dog owned by the Brown family, the current mascot is “Zippy” whose grandfather “Sting” was the model for the bronze Pointer dog sculpture in the school’s quad. All five Brown family members (Lee, Kathy, Shelby, Tracey and Judy) are PLHS alumni.<\/p>\n
Each day of Homecoming week on the PLHS campus had a theme including “Dress in the letter of your first name day,” “Tropical Tuesday,” “Western Wednesday,” “Adam Sandler Day” and “PINK OUT!”<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Homecoming dance was held the next evening at the San Diego Air and Space Museum.<\/p>\n
